North Koreans & Chinese Modernizing Egypt's Missile Fleet

China is covertly working with North Koreans to modernize Egypt’s short-range missile systems, raising new concerns among United States intelligence officials about the arms programs of the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated government in Egypt.

Israel is reportedly considering launching an air strike against an Iranian listening post near Syria’s border with the Golan Heights, Britain’s Sunday Times reported Saturday night.

The Sunday Times story also reports, citing an unnamed source “close to military planners,” that Jerusalem is considering creating a buffer zone 10 miles inside Syrian territory, which it would patrol with infantry and tank units

Maybe troops mobilizing to move out. Maybe training for a soon mission. I trained to invade Iraq for almost 9 months straight in Kuwait before we crossed the border... Just saying

Iran, Syria and Hizballah must now decide on the nature of their reprisal, set up the operation and assign forces for its implementation, while taking into account Israel’s options for a counter-response.

Barak’s tough comments in Munich told Tehran that Israel is ready to remove the gloves against Syria and Hizballlah.
